This article is aimed at modeling of transmission line inspection robot in order to improve the mechanical mechanism and achieving dynamical stability to navigate through overhead electrical transmission lines while passing obstacles. A new mechanical mechanism design is developed that allows robot navigate more stable than current commercial inspection systems. The behavior of investigation ma...

In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...

Previous work has established that the polyspermy block in Urechis acts at the level of sperm-egg membrane fusion. (J. Exp. Zool. 196:105). Present results indicate that during the first 5--10 min after insemination the block is mediated by a positive shift in membrane potential (the fertilization potential) elicited by the penetrating sperm, since holding the membrane potential of the unfertil...

A “Storage-Area Network” (SAN) comprises computers (“Initiators”), storage “block devices” (“Targets”), and a Controller(s). Most SANs use the SCSI protocol over various communication infrastructures. Presently, all Initiator Target traffic must pass through the Controller, severely limiting scalability. We extend the SCSI-3 Transport layer to support distribution, and combine this with SCSI's ...

Factor graphs, and message-passing over these graphs using the Sum-Product Algorithm (SPA), are an important method for unifying the tasks of channel estimation and decoding. In this paper, we use a variant of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) Algorithm that is formulated as a modification to the sum-product algorithm (SPA) over factor graphs. We firstly advance the theory of this factor graph ...
